Genesis 15: And he said unto Abram, Know thou, that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and they shall serve them, and afflict them four hundred years; and the nation which they shall serve, I will judge; and after that they shall go out with a great gain. Exodus 3: And it shall come to pass, when ye go, that ye shall not go empty: and a woman of her that sojourneth, and a stranger in her house, shall ask of her, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters, and ye shall go out of Egypt. Exodus 11: Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; after that he shall send you away from him, as a curse... Speak now in the ears of the people, and let them ask every man of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold. Exodus 12: And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses, and asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, and they asked them, and they went out of Egypt. Or Chaim 3:18: Why did the LORD command the asking of money at an early time, and did not wait until his good word came to them to go out of the land of Egypt? What? Even though the words were spoken at the right time, the next day they came out, and what need was there to say them before the twelfth month? 2. Bechor Shor 3:22: 'And a woman asked her neighbor' - let her say to her, "Behold, we are going on a journey [for three days in the desert]. Lend me a cup of silver and gold and your utensils so that I will not be ashamed among our friends, as well as the robes of six and embroidered cloth. Or HaChaim 3:18: 'And a woman asked' to the side of those who intended to return [and they were obliged to ask in the Torah for a 'question' and not a gift]. Rabbi Hananel: May God, the Blessed One, permit us to steal the knowledge of mankind, but ‘and ask’ is to give as a gift, as we find in Gideon, ‘I will ask you a question, and you will give me a ring from your spoil.’ Similarly, in Bathsheba, ‘I will ask one small question of you [from Solomon]… give Abishag the Shunammite [to Adonijah as a wife],’ and indeed, a gift is in the form of a question. Sanhedrin: The sons of Egypt came to judge the people of Israel before Alexander the Great, and they said to him: Indeed, he says, ‘And the Lord has given the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they will ask them,’ give us the silver and gold that you took from him. Gaviha ben Psisa said to the sages, ‘Give me permission, and I will go and rule over them…’ He said to them… ‘And the dwelling of the sons of Israel who dwelt in Egypt thirty years and four hundred years’ give us wages of sixty thousand for the labor you enslaved in Egypt thirty years and four hundred years… They examined and found no answer… and fled. Sermons of the Ran: A Strange and Mysterious Matter Very: Even though the Egyptians owed their wages, they did not deserve to come upon them with deceit and deceit, especially since the hand of God was strong and powerful upon them. Why were they forced to do so? Rashi Exodus 15:22: 'And Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea' - He brought them with great force, because the Egyptians adorned their horses with ornaments of gold and silver, and Israel found them, and the plunder of the sea was greater than the plunder of Egypt, as it is said, 'I will make for you towers of gold with the points of silver' [which compared to the plunder of Egypt was as valuable as gold in relation to silver]. 3. Babylonian Talmud 1:1: Speak now in the ears of the people - Rabbi Yannai said: 'Now, please, go and tell them to ask the Israelites, asking you, 'They have asked you for silver and gold vessels, so that the righteous man [Abraham] may not say: 'And they shall serve them and afflict them' is fulfilled in them, 'And afterwards they shall go out with great possessions' is not fulfilled - Joseph's tree at the well of Jacob: And it is difficult even without Abraham's resentment, does God Himself have to fulfill what He said? Likkuti Sichot 21/13: The very promise 'And afterwards "They will go out with great wealth," can be realized in a way in which the Egyptians are punished and hand over their wealth to Israel. But then there remains an opening here for our forefather Abraham. As a father, he demands that the wealth reach Israel in a way that is emph...
